And Bambi will never know the difference between a safe 3,000 ft/sec and an unsafe 3,050 or 3,100.

Reading the gun rags for some 50+ years, I note that accuracy loads are almost always a bit under max. It's very rare that the smallest group in some test comes from a max-velocity load.

Well said, Art, very well said!
